Bilingual plaque of alabaster (44 cm). Currently in possession of the Ägyptisches (Bode) Museum in Berlin (inv. 7733).
(Greek) On the order of the king and queen: in the place of the plaque which was previously put here concerning the dedication of the prayer house (proseuchē), let what is written below be inscribed: “King Ptolemy Euergetes . . . has established (?) . . . the prayer house as an asylum.”
(Latin in large letters) The queen and king have ordered it.
